About the luthier
Jose Antonio Lagunar was introduced to the world of guitar making through his uncle, Alfredo Lagunar, who served for decades as the first official luthier at Guitarras Contreras, one of Spain’s most respected guitar workshops. Under his uncle’s guidance, Jose Antonio absorbed the full depth of traditional Spanish guitar building, learning every step in the process with patience and precision. After more than thirty years of experience in the field, he launched his own workshop and brand, where he continues to explore new ideas rooted in the solid foundation of his training. His philosophy treats each instrument as a unique story, shaped by the maker’s evolution and the specific needs of the guitarist.About the guitar
The 2019 “Concierto 1a Especial N.32” by Jose Antonio Lagunar showcases his personal approach to modern guitar construction. It features an original lattice bracing system of his own design, which integrates the tonal clarity and brightness typical of traditional Spanish guitars with the projection and extended sustain often associated with lattice-braced instruments. The result is a sound that is both articulate and responsive, with remarkable dynamic range. The guitar features a cedar top paired with Madagascar rosewood back and sides, resulting in a warm and richly textured tone. The polyurethane finish offers durability while preserving the visual elegance of the woods. With a 650 mm scale, 52 mm nut and Gotoh tuners, the instrument also offers a very comfortable neck profile. It is an ideal choice for players seeking a powerful, modern concert guitar that maintains a strong link to Spanish tradition.Condition
This guitar is in mint condition, showing few if any signs of wear. Its structural and aesthetic features are impeccably preserved, making it an excellent acquisition for performers or collectors alike.Regular care extends the life of the instrument
Even with careful use, a classical guitar may gradually change in appearance or respond to unstable storage conditions. Have a close look at your guitar regularly and be attentif to changes. If your instrument is suffering from its environement, it will let you know.
Protect Your Guitar: Handle with Care
Be mindful when touching your instrument with greasy or unwashed hands: any skin contact is a small attack on the varnish. Of course, a guitar is made to be played, but taking a few precautions helps preserve its beauty: wash your hands before playing, wear long sleeves, and avoid unnecessary direct skin contact with the body of the instrument.
Pro tip: Avoid playing with a button-up shirt, heavy jewelry, or a belt, as these can scratch the guitar. Also, make sure your guitar case is free of any objects that could damage the instrument during storage.
String care
A good habit to adopt is wiping down your strings briefly after each playing session. This small action significantly extends their lifespan and helps maintain a consistent, comfortable feel under your fingers.
Most importantly, clean strings are essential for keeping your instrument in tune. Corrosion, sweat, and dust can affect the uniformity of the strings and interfere with accurate tuning across the entire fingerboard.
Pro tip: If you're having trouble getting your guitar in tune, it might be time to change the strings. A useful test is to compare the pitch of the 12th fret harmonic with the fretted note at the 12th fret; if there's an unusually large gap between them, your strings may have lost their integrity and should be replaced.
Keep Your Shellac Finish Shining!
Got a guitar with a shellac (French polish) finish? Here's a simple trick: Take a clean microfiber cloth and gently breathe on the surface to create a light mist. Then, softly rub to remove fingerprints, sweat, and grease. That’s usually all it takes to keep it looking great, no products needed!
Pro tip: Every few years, treat your guitar to a check-up with a luthier to keep it in top shape.
Storing Your Guitar: Climate Matters
Your guitar can safely stay outside its case, as long as the surrounding environment maintains 42–55% humidity and a temperature between 18–25°C.
Keep in mind that humidity levels can still fluctuate inside the case, especially during seasonal changes.
- Too much humidity may cause overtightened strings and a dull tone.
- Too little humidity can lead to a bulging top, string buzz, or even cracks.
Avoid placing your guitar near radiators, air conditioners, or windows with direct sunlight.
Pro tip: Always close your guitar case while playing. This helps preserve a stable microclimate inside the case, so your instrument is protected the moment you put it back in.
